Written a few days ago... I forgot to note down the date. And though I'd intended to have this post up earlier, I was apprehensive and unsure if it was the most clever thing to do on Earth or not. Finally, I'm convinced. All for the best. One day, many millennia from now, someone will read it and be thankful for the joy. His friend would weep in sadness. :)

The Pome lies beneath the cut.

" T h e E m p t y W h o l e "

A lonely long night, of painful moments, stretched through to sorrowful infinity....Luscious dark clouds stretch out so dense, and through it all, I'm filled with guilty pity.

Her heart beats in quiet persistence, but apart from signs to know, no wayif she can feel me flutter in this stance.... I fear to void such love each day.

So long my tears have been hidden away, inside parched lids, my eyes do reside,a while on a path, they led astray.... powerful emotions rage unchecked inside.

Her breath moves slow and daintily, to nourish a mind in pain so saintly.It weaves through catacombs of sorrow, to bring light upon mine eyes, tomorrow....

*screened as requested* but I think your comment is worth sharing with others who could partake of your insight. Strange as it is.. It's a very vivid point that you indicate, and you're righter than you think.

"to bring light upon mine eyes, tomorrow...."

In all honesty, the words I used were intended to display a positive projection, but I faltered in the flow while I was writing it.. and a second, darker mood crept over my choice and usage.

It reflects a long struggle, sometimes, knowing, sometimes not, but in the end, there's final realization, understanding, peace..

But that's the positive side. it's like after the whole thing, tomorrow comes and _that's_ when you come to realize who the person _really is_. It's like writing a speech for when they call you onstage to give you an award, and at the crux, they call on someone else.

P.S.: Not so.. There's no reason to be intolerant, and there's no inclination to be so either.And yes, that's what friends are for naa.. If they don't understand us, who can? And if they don't, you lock them outside and without a key.

Ah, sepiaverse who commented soon after you below already sent me 4 renditions of the song. Would have checked it out abhi tak.. It's just that Gmail's not opening up on my laptop today for some odd reason. :(

Tears will rush forth when you realize that we are surrounded and protected, by the power of love. Love which keeps us warm even in the lonely hours. Love, which heals, even the most horrible pain. Love which makes you want to cry. Cry, tears of joy.

Profound. What you're saying is basically that love hurts, but it hurts good na? :o)

Sometimes, pain can be utterly sweet. It's sort of like a sacrifice. In itself it's not honey, probably even unbearable. But taken as a part of a considerably large whole, it turns into a tantalizingly sweet nectar.

and sacrifice?i don't know... it seemed to me, more about surrender, and that i thought lent to the enjoyable aspect of it; the pain coming from a certain human resistance to that absolute state..but like i said, i read it like it was a torn away portion of some medieval romance ;)

Honestly, it began as such.. But the drift shifted as each line was laid down, as emotions are want to do. :)

The last line (the clincher) was not anticipated, and not intended per se.. It's just that when I came there, it seemed like the only thing left to add, and I added it.

You actually got the drift as I'd penned it. Human resistance.. Your choice of words is curious to say the least, but somehow, fitting. :) Surrender yes, but in this pome, I hoped that I'd toned it down. Did'nt expect anyone to catch that. :)

And yet, there's a strange forlorn feeling I keep getting that might not be apparent, but it nags at me.. there's something wrong there and I can't put my finger on it.

Hi..Nice Blog yu are maintaining here...I would like to introduce to you YouthPad.com
It is a interaction platform for the youth of Delhi NCR . Membership is open to Students and Alumni of premier colleges..It is a citizen journalist model which we are trying to implement...Join YouthPad today and express your opinion!!

Thanks for the compliment though it's highly unlikely you really mean that. If indeed you're not a bot, that is.

You've tried introducing me to it before, I'm not a youth, I'm not from the Delhi NCR, I'm not a student of a premier college, and I'm not interested in citizen journalism. The model you people use is phenomenally outdated, and for all its worth, falls flat on its face. You've been _trying_ to implement it for a few years now to no avail.

YouthPad, from my last interaction, is not interested in my opinion. God bless those who have not! :)
